E105 | Behind the Sketchbook with Carole Ince

Today's special guest is a multimedia artist inspired by people, places and community.    With a love of clay and oil paint Carole Ince celebrates the uniqueness of people and captures life as it unfolds.   Tuning in from Canada, I thought you will enjoy hearing some real talk.    Carole has solid collections of work, has started selling and has recently had a super successful solo show.  We chat about the journey to this point and what life is really like as an artist.   Some of the big takeaways from this conversation were:   The process takes time and consistent action  Confidence came from all the small steps in the early days, which maybe felt as if things weren’t going anywhere  The journey is a long one so having a community around you to support you when things go wrong (and right) is imperative  Honing in on why Carole made art, why it matters and growing belief in her work  Always learning - every day  Checking in and planning on a regular basis (making this fun)   Enjoy
